Which outcome results in a flash memory cell when Fowler-Nordheim tunneling is suppressed?

A)Data retention improves significantly
B)Write speed of cell increases
C)Power consumption rises dramatically
D)Cell permanently becomes non-conductive

💡 Explanation

When Fowler-Nordheim tunneling is suppressed, electrons are blocked from leaking out because the charge cannot dissipate through the oxide layer; therefore stored data is retained longer, rather than being lost due to leakage.
